It appears that Oanda has discontinued or changed the access to their currency rates as the program \admin\includes\functions\localization.php is erroring out with the URL previously that worked for years. Anyone with any information? This happened with XE in 2015. Thanks.

At the end of the day below is the address - I'm not 100% sure but I presume you can develop your own code to call it (the sample I provide was a super quick google search). There are many many more examples to call this address.

Thanks @@greasemonkey & burt. I had more than a few beers trying to fix this problem so will be great if I can get it done for a few bucks rather than going mad. I will put up a ticket one of the next days as the problem is more annoying than urgent. I want to give the exchange rate option for my customers. Great forum here, im sure I will be bak . thanks.

Its a clearing localization problem. Hungarian Central Bank (MNB) is for me. There should be selectable currency info modules.

In our country we should use MNB (Hungarian Central Bank) currency exchange rates between bank account clearing. ECB exchange rates gives only informal data. Secondary options to use own bank currencies exchange rates.There are a lot of cases depends on self bank or money markets and national accounting rules. One option is very bound. I dont mind I could use MNB for me :)

So as everyone knows this started december 2016, i've read the thread, i've updated the git changes proposed by gburton, and sure enough USD now updates, however none of the other currencies will update:

Heres my error:

The exchange rate for U.S. Dollar (USD) was updated successfully via fixer.

Error: The exchange rate for Euro (EUR) was not updated via fixer. Is it a valid currency code?

Error: The exchange rate for UK Pound (GBP) was not updated via fixer. Is it a valid currency code?

Error: The exchange rate for NZ Dollar (NZD) was not updated via fixer. Is it a valid currency code?

Error: The exchange rate for Australian Dollar (AUD) was not updated via fixer. Is it a valid currency code?
